GENERAL MAINTENANCE
BREAKAWAY SYSTEM
DOT regulations require that a trailer’s battery keep or hold the trailer from rolling forward for 15-minutes after stopping. Check the battery on a regular basis for
adequate output and charge if necessary. The proper hookup for cable is to loop it
around something permanent on the tow vehicle but not the ball hitch insert or
hitch. If there is a failure of any of these

and activates brakes. The plug must
be pushed in completely so the brakes
are not dragging. This will drain the
battery if the pin remains pulled out.
ROOF VENTS
Roof vents on all Pace American trailers are designed to allow light into the
trailer during the daytime along with fresh air. Also warm air will escape when
the vent is open. However, your roof vent is not designed to be open when
traveling. Make sure that all vents are closed prior to towing over the road.
FRAME MAINTENANCE
Cargo trailers take the worst kind of abuse on the underneath, frame side.
Anything thrown up by the tow vehicle will chip away at the frame coating. It
is suggested that inspections are made periodically and any bare spots be
touched up with undercoating.
• CHECK CONDITION OF BATTERY

ROOF MAINTENANCE
Inspect the roof coating once a year. Check for shrinking or cracked sealant that will lead
to roof leak. Pace uses high quality self leveling caulk which is available through Pace or
local RV dealers. Do not allow excessive snow build-up on the roof. Brush snow off of
roof after a heavy snow. The excessive weight may damage trailer voiding warranty. Do
not walk on trailer’s roof unless you ordered a trailer with extra support for that purpose.

suggest painting it with a good quality oil-based porch and deck enamel. This
will seal the floor and make oil clean-up and sweeping-out much easier. When
parking trailer housing recently used snowmobiles, tilt the trailer and open
doors to allow melted snow to run out. This will allow floor to dry.

WHITE AND CHROME WHEEL MAINTENANCE
Your new wheels do require care to maintain their factory appearance. We
strongly suggest you take a few reasonable steps to protect your investment.
Typical road soils trap moisture which can cause corrosion over a period of
time. Brake dust is also corrosive and can cause pitting of the wheels finish.
These soils must be removed regularly, possibly weekly, depending on your
driving habits. After cleaning, always apply a coat of soft non-abrasive cream
wax to help prevent surface corrosion. Surface corrosion or rust can be prevented with proper care and is not covered under warranty.
ALUMINUM RIM MAINTENANCE
Your wheels’ finish should be treated as you would treat the finish of your car.
The aluminum rims are clearcoated to preserve the finish and ease the cleaning. Most household cleaning agents are too harsh for the finish on your
wheels and must be avoided. Do not use any cleaning agent with a lye or acid
base. The only factory-approved wheel cleaner is: Aluminum Wash and
Brightener, Wheel Care Symbol F, by Eagle One. Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations on the bottle for safe and effective cleaning.

It is extremely important to apply and maintain proper wheel mounting torque
on your trailer axle. Torque is a measure of the amount of tightening applied
to a fastener (nut or bolt) and is expressed as length x force. For example, a
force of 90 pounds applied at the end of wrench one foot long will yield 90

lbs.-ft. of torque. Torque wrenches are the best method to assure the proper
amount of torque is being applied to a fastener.
NOTE: Wheel nut or bolts must be applied and maintained at the proper
torque levels to prevent loose wheels, broken studs, and possible dangerous separation of wheels from your axle.
Be sure to always use only the fasteners matched to the cone angle of your
wheel (usually 60° or 90°). The proper procedure for attaching your wheels is:
1. Start all bolts or nuts by hand to prevent cross threading.
2. Tighten bolts or nuts in the following sequence.

Warranties on axles and trailer will not apply to damage or injuries caused by
loose or improperly tightened lug nuts or broken studs. Inspect wheel stud
holes for roundness. If oblong, this is a sure sign that the unit has been run with
improperly tightened lugnuts. In these instances, the rim must be replaced.
DOORS, BARLOCKS AND RAMP HINGES
Door holdbacks are designed to hold doors open when on uneven ground. They
are not designed to hold doors open under windy conditions. Lubricate all door
and ramp hinges every 3 months with a SAE 30 weight engine oil. WD-40 and
similar lubricants will free hinges, however, they will also lose all lubricating qualities within a short period of time. Use a conventional grease gun tip to apply
grease at ramp hinges.

3. The tightening of the fasteners should be done in stages. Following the
recommended sequence, tighten fasteners per wheel torque chart below.
4. Wheel nuts/bolts should be torqued before first road use and after each
wheel removal. Check and re-torque after the first 10 miles, 25 miles, and
again at 50 miles. Check periodically thereafter.

trailer will not come unhooked. For ball type couplers, make sure the coupler
and ball size match. If you are using a bumper hitch type coupler, it is recommended to put a bolt or similar device through the latch mechanism when
hooking to the tow vehicle for safety. It is advised that mini fifth wheel hitches
should have a wheel diameter that is close to the width of Pace American’s
Pinbox. A smaller wheel diameter does not get adequate vertical support from
the Pinbox and pushes the bottom plate upward.

JUDGING TONGUE WEIGHT
The desired hitch weight is 10% of the
total loaded trailer weight. If scales are
not readily available, you may estimate your total loaded hitch weight by comparing a known weight to the hitch weight. The proper way, however, to
accurately measure tongue weight is by taking your loaded trailer to a local
scale, such as those found at gravel companies or highway weigh station
scales. Weigh the trailer and then the tongue separately and the tongue should
be 10% of total loaded trailer weight. 10% tongue weight is necessary for safe
towing and handling of trailer. To obtain the correct tongue weight, the trailer
must be setting level to the ground.
HITCH SELECTION CHART
For a gooseneck type trailer you should load 70% of your cargo’s weight in the
front of the trailer as depicted below This will put approximately 10% of the
loaded trailer weight on the hitch. If there is insufficient or too much hitch
weight, the trailer will not tow properly.

You should load 60% of your cargo’s weight in the front of the trailer. This will
put approximately 10% of the loaded trailer weight on the hitch. If there is

difficult to control, and make towing unsafe. Proper weight distribution is

Trouble-free trailering depends upon proper bearing lubrication, maintenance
and inspections. Bearings fail when lubrication fails or when improperly adjusted. In both cases, heat build up occurs. Normal bearing operating temperate

burning. Above this temperature, the grease will start

600°F. A good practice for both experienced and new
trailer owners is to touch each hub within ten miles of starting out when bearings have been repacked and at each stop along the way. (Do not try testing
the hub after several miles of continuous hard braking). This will give an
advanced warning of pending trouble so corrections can be made prior to failure and breakdown. Remember, inactivity can be more damaging to bearings
than every day use. When a trailer is parked, many times the spindle, bearings

to spindle.
CLEAN AND INSPECT BEARINGS (CONES)
Clean bearings with solvent and long bristled
brush. Do NOT use air pressure to clean out old
grease or to dry. Allow to air dry. Inspect bearings for pitting, rusting, frosting, scoring, metal
flaking, cage damage or other obvious damage. Replace all damaged bearings and mating
races in sets.

MATCH AIR PRESSURE & TIRE CAPACITY TO WEIGHT ON AXLES
1.) Jack up trailer and secure on adequate capacity jack stands. Lifting and supporting must be on the main I-beams or the perimeter tube frame that the axle is
attached to. Check that the wheel and drum rotates freely.
2.) Remove the adjusting hole cover from the adjusting slot on the bottom of the brake
backing plate.
3.) With a screwdriver or standard adjusting tool, rotate the starwheel of the adjuster
assembly to expand the brake shoes. Adjust the brake shoes out until the pressure of the linings against the drum makes the wheel very difficult to turn.
4.) Now rotate the starwheel in the opposite direction until the wheel turns freely with
a slight lining drag. Usually 8 clicks.
5.) Replace the adjusting hole cover and lower the wheel to the ground.
6.) Repeat the above procedure on all brakes.

Brakes must be adjusted after the first 200 miles of operation when the brake
shoes and drums have seated. After the initial adjustment the brakes should
be readjusted at 3000 mile intervals or as use and performance requires. The
brakes should be adjusted in the following manner:

TONGUE JACKS FOR BUMPER- PULL MODELS
If your trailer was ordered with a vendor door(s), it may have the ratchet style
door prop to open the door. The operation of this type of prop is to swing the
door open until the ratchet system engages and holds the door open. There will
be a safety pin provided for each door prop that must be installed. This ensures
the door will not come down. To release the prop system, first remove the safety pin, then lift the door slightly to release
the ratchet assembly system. If the door is

option of gas shocks to assist in the opening of the vendor door, especially helpful with heavier, large doors. After
unlatching the door, install one end of each of the pipe-style props provided
into the “camel back” bracket mounted on the lower side of the vendor door.
One prop goes on each end of the door. After installing both props onto the
vendor door, lift the door and allow the gas shocks to push up to the full open
Pace American uses two types of manual tongue jacks. Lubrication and proper maintenance of jacks will enhance jack life and make operation smoother.
The two types that Pace American uses are: 1) the side-wind model and 2) the
top-wind model. The internal gearing and bearings of the jack must be kept
lubricated. Using a needle nose applicator, pump a small amount of automotive
grease through the lubrication opening. The lubrication opening can be found
on the side of the jack tube, directly
below the handle. Rotate the jack handle to distribute the grease evenly.
Lightly grease the inner tube of the
jack using the same type of grease. A
lightweight oil must also be applied to
the handle unit at both ends of the
outer tube. The top-wind jack has an
access hole on the front side that will
allow oil to be sprayed into the threaded rod. By using a product similar to
ANTI-SEIZE TECHNOLOGY’s product no. 17061, you will be able to free up
rusty and corroded parts, and it leaves a protective anti-rust film. Some sprayon lubricants will only provide short term lubrication and will need to be
reapplied more frequently than once a year.

position. Next, install the bottom end of the pipe props into the “camel back”
brackets mounted on each side of the opening. Use of these pipe props
ensures the doors will not close due to high wind when people may be standing underneath the vendor door. To close doors, unfasten the lower end of the
pipe props and pull the door down by using the pipe props.
These kinds of trailers are equipped with a two-speed, twin landing gear. Low
speed eases the raising of the unit. High speed will rapidly retract the legs into
the travel position. The shaft that the crank handle attaches to is what accomplishes this gear change. Pushed IN sets the high speed operation while pulling

TRAILER TOWING SAFETY TIPS
INSTABILITY
Swaying (or whipping) of a tow vehicle/trailer combination at low speeds may

also be required by law in some states.
OR WHIPPING
Check cargo first to be sure that the trailer is
loaded heavier in the front. If not, reposition the load so you get 10% of the
total trailer weight on the tongue. Next, make certain the rear of the tow vehicle is not overloaded. Then check for wheel wobble on both vehicles caused
by bearing failure, loose lug nuts or loose spindle nuts. Now check the tow
vehicle’s suspension alignment. Finally, make sure that you are not exceeding
the recommended maximum speed limit for safety and IT’S THE LAW.
If the above instructions have been followed, instability should now be
corrected. If not, something may be wrong with your tow vehicle.
TIPS FOR THE BEGINNER (ALSO SEE HITCHING UP ON P. 21)
Place your hand at the bottom of the steering wheel. While watching in your
outside mirrors, if you want the rear of the trailer to go to the right, move your
hand to the right. If you want the rear of the trailer to go to the left, move your
hand to the left. If the trailer starts to jackknife—STOP—pull ahead to straighten out then start procedure over again. When making turns, be aware the
trailer will turn quicker than a tow vehicle. Allow extra
turning space so that the trailer wheels don’t jump
over a curb, hit a soft shoulder, road sign or tree.

angle and too hard.
CHECK YOUR POLICY
Most automobile and some homeowners insurance policies will provide some
coverage for cargo trailers. They should also provide for you a “grace period”
of a set number of days from the date of purchase. Call your agent.
HITCH AND BRAKE SAFETY
For safe towing it is the trailer owner’s responsibility to CORRECTLY MATCH
the combination of tow vehicle and trailer.
1. MATCH the maximum trailer weight allowed for the tow vehicle to the
GVWR of the trailer.
2. MATCH the hitch weight carrying capacity of the tow vehicle with the loaded
tongue weight of the trailer. This is generally 10% of GVWR on tag models
and 20% of GVWR on 5th wheels and Goosenecks. Tag models may require
a weight distributing hitch with sway controls. Contact your hitch specialist
to properly set up your tow vehicle/trailer combination.
3. MATCH the size of the brake controller to the number of braking wheels on
your trailer. These are sold usually as 2 to 4 wheel brake or 2 to 6 wheel brake
units. For proper controller adjustment, see your brake controller manual.
4. MATCH the wiring of the tow vehicle to the wiring code on the trailer. Ensure your
tow vehicle does have a ground wire running from the receptacle to the frame.
5. MATCH the ball size to the coupler size.
6. MATCH your Fifth Wheel or Gooseneck trailer to a correct and compatible
hitch provided by your hitch specialist. Then consult your hitch specialist for
proper maintenance of the hitch assembly.
7. Match your rear vehicle suspension to the loaded hitch weight of the rear
axle of the tow vehicle.
All marginal situations should be corrected for safe trailering. Remember, you
are the one that will be trying to control a large combination of weight and size
at high speeds. It is your responsibility to set up tow vehicle/trailer properly.
Contact or confirm your set up with a local hitch company professional.

TRAILERING TACTICS*
Hitching up a trailer to your tow vehicle is usually a one-person job, but it is
easier if someone helps you. Here are a few of the basic steps:
With a trailer in tow, you’re operating a vehicle combination that is longer,
heavier and sometimes wider and taller, than you’re used to. So you’ll have to
make some compensating adjustments in your normal driving practices. The
following is advice in trailering tactics:
1. Back your tow vehicle as close as possible to the trailer. It is easier and
safer to do this than it is to pick up and pull the trailer to your car or truck.
2. Release the coupler locking device.
3. Raise the front end of the trailer. Place coupler directly over the hitch ball
then lower it until it is seated on the hitch ball, covering it completely.
4. Check under the coupling to ensure the ball clamp is below the ball and
not riding on top of it.
5. Latch the coupler to the hitch ball. Make sure it is locked in place by lifting up the trailer tongue. If the coupler comes loose form the ball, unlatch it
and go back to Step 3.
6. Make sure your jack is fully raised.
HITCHING UP YOUR TRAILER
7. If you have a weight distributing hitch with spring bars, follow the above
procedures. Then attach the spring bar chain to the trailer and tighten it until
your trailer and car are in a normal, level position.
8. If your trailer has a surge brake breakaway cable or chain, attach the
cable or chain to your tow vehicle, allowing enough slack for you to make tight
turns.
Take a “Shakedown Cruise”. At least one short trial run before your first trip
will help familiarize you with your trailer’s operating characteristics. It will also
allow you to check the trailer’s lights, brakes, hitch, etc., and let you know they
are all working properly.
Slow down. Moderate to slower driving speeds put less strain on your tow
vehicle and trailer and make for safer traveling.
Allow extra time and space between your rig and traffic. You will need both
when passing and stopping, especially if your trailer is not equipped with
brakes.
Check rear view mirrors. Doing this frequently will let you know that your
trailer is riding properly. We recommend outside rear view mirrors on both
sides of your tow vehicle.
Swing wider. You need to make wider swings (turns) at curves and corners
because your trailer’s wheels are generally closer to the inside of a turn than
the wheels on your tow vehicle.
Pass with extra care and caution. It takes more time and distance to get
around a slower vehicle and return to the correct lane when you’ve got a trailer in tow.
9. Attach the safety chains as described on page 22.
10. Connect the trailer wiring harness to the lighting system of your tow
vehicle and check its operation (also see page 9 in this manual for details).
* Hitching Up courtesy of REESE PRODUCTS, INC.
Watch the wind direction and speed. To avoid swaying, be prepared for sudden changes in air pressure and wind buffeting when larger vehicles pass from
either direction. Slow down a bit and keep a firm hold on your steering wheel.
Aim straight down your lane.
Conserve fuel. You’ll go farther on a tank of gas at moderate speeds. Higher
speeds increase wind resistance against the trailer and reduce fuel mileage.
TRAILERING TACTICS
HITCHING UP YOUR TRAILER*
24
23
Avoid sudden stops and starts. This can cause skidding, sliding, or jackknifing, even if your trailer has brakes. Avoid quick stops while turning.
Smooth, gradual starts and stops will improve your gas mileage.
Signal your intentions. Let surrounding vehicles know what you intend to do
well in advance before you stop, turn, change lanes, or pass.
Shift to a lower gear. A lower gear will help ease the load on the transmission
and engine when going over steep hills, sand, gravel, or dirt roads. If your tow
vehicle has an “overdrive” gear, shifting out of overdrive to a lower gear may
improve your gas mileage.
Always be courteous. Make it as easy as possible for faster moving vehicles
to pass you. Keep to the right of the road and prepare to slow down if passing vehicles need extra time to return to their proper lane.
TRAILERING TACTICS
Don’t tailgate. Allow at least one car and trailer length between you and the
vehicle ahead for each 10 mph on your speedometer. Three seconds should
be the minimum distance.
If a problem occurs don’t panic. Stay calm and cool. Say you experience a
sudden bumping or fishtailing. It may indicate a flat tire. Don’t jam on the
brakes or mash the accelerator in an attempt to drive out of it. Instead, come
to a stop slowly as you keep driving in as straight a line as possible. If conditions permit, coast to a very slow speed and try to avoid braking, except when
your wheels are straight ahead and your trailer and tow vehicle are in line with
each other.
If your trailer begins to fishtail as you accelerate to highway speed, back
off the accelerator a bit. This should stop the fishtailing. If it begins again as
you increase speed, stop and check you load. It probably isn’t distributed
evenly from side to side, or it is too far back to put a sufficient load on the hitch
ball. It is recommended that 10% of the trailer load be on the hitch. (See page
19 for more details). Redistribute the load as necessity dictates before continuing on the highway.
